Abstract
In this paper, we analyze millions of credit card transaction records during several months for tens of thousands of individuals from two different countries and show that, purchase patterns are strongly correlated with important societal indices such as socioeconomic status and political inclination. Our results suggest the possibility of understanding and predicting the evolution of such societal indices from purchase behavioral patterns, potentially at high temporal and spatial resolutions.
